Tundra Ridge: committee recommendation, council award and timeline questions
A committee recommendation, a council award, then questions about the schedule. We connect each stage of the decision.
Follow the timelineONGOING INVESTIGATION · WATER + HOUSING
Water limits housing. What does Iqaluit’s system have capacity to support?
Nunatsiaq News reports that the City puts system capacity at approximately 3,230 residential units on a population-equivalent basis. The published report does not show the calculation, identify how many would be additional units or explain how planned upgrades change capacity.

WHY I’M DOING THIS
A decision is one day. Its consequences can take years.
Our local newsrooms cover a lot of ground. Following City Hall full time and connecting today’s decision to a promise, budget or debate from years ago is a big job. I started City Hall Record to help keep that thread visible, alongside the work local journalists already do.
I’ve served as an Iqaluit councillor and mayor. That history helps me know where to look and what questions to ask; it doesn’t make my own record exempt from scrutiny. Here, the sources come first, experience and opinion are labelled, and corrections matter.

ACCOUNTABILITY, WITH CONTEXT
Who showed up?
The current council’s record begins November 14, 2023. Earlier-council records are labelled separately. The attendance report series runs from January 2024 through September 2026. Missing events stay outside each member’s denominator. The separate pay comparison remains on its reviewed January to June cutoff.
